The program is set up by UNFI to extend additional benefits to high quality and trusted suppliers like Reed's Inc. It will allow Reed's to easily expand distribution channels in new regions and increase efficiency and transparency with UNFI. The partnership will laser-focus Reed's sales promotions with primary in-store advertising and marketing programs supported by the distributor and retailers. New product launches will be accelerated within the distribution channels and marketing will be a unified effort geared to make a significant impact benefiting all partners.

CEO and founder of Reed's, Inc., Chris Reed, comments, "This is a very exciting development with our long-time partner UNFI. They have helped us build our distribution in the natural food market from just a few Southern California locations to our current nation-wide availability. The invitation to join the ClearVue program means they see us as an effectual partner. By supporting our products with enhanced marketing and sales, we can truly accelerate our growth. We will also gain access to distribution information that will let us strategically plan our sales and marketing efforts."

Neal Cohane, Sr. Vice President of Sales and Marketing, stated, "This new partnership between Reed's and UNFI is a natural step based on the trust we have built over the last several years. We look forward to building mutually beneficial sales and marketing programs that will drive continued sales growth and profit momentum into 2012 and beyond. I believe that at the end of the day the consumer and our shareholders will benefit the most from this strengthened alliance."
